DNU Restore results in multiple "The file exists" warning and errors and eventually dies

Question

I recently updated my VS 2015 to Update 2 and also did a dnvm update-self. After taking these actions I'm now unable to perform dnu restores. I see the following error for almost every package from both myget and nuget

     GET https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='xunit.runner.dnx'
Warning: FindPackagesById: xunit.runner.dnx
  The file exists.

  GET https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='xunit.runner.dnx'
Error: FindPackagesById: xunit.runner.dnx
  The file exists.

Eventually the entire operation bombs out. I've tried reinstalling my DNX's (currently using RC1-Update1), deleting all packages etc... to no avail. Any ideas are appreciated.

I found what resolved my issue here:

Looks like my %userprofile%/AppData/Local/Temp folder got some possibly corrupted data in it that was confusing dnu restore. DNU restore caches packages here during processing. I purged the directory and DNU restore appears to be working well again.
